Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God

Service of WorshipThird Sunday in Lent

March 3, 2013Eleven o’clock in the morning

The season of Lent continues with an invitation to respond to God’s call. In Isaiah, wisdom is personified as one in the streets who invites us to the fullness of God’s banquet table. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians reminds Christian disciples of their spiritual connection to Israel’s exodus from Egypt and warns that they should not fall to the same temptations of their ancestors in the wilderness. In Luke’s gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the fig tree, a pointed reminder that we are called to lives that bear fruit.

The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

Haste thee, O God, to deliver me, make haste to help me. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul. Let them for their reward be soon brought to shame that cry over me, “There, there.” But let all those that seek thee be joyful and glad in thee, And let all such as delight in thy salvation say always, “The Lord be praised!” Amen. —Psalm 70:1-4

Questions PeoPle oFten ask - Why do We conFess our sins?

Sin is not simply something that makes people unhappy or causes pain: it is life based on a false story, one that leads to worshiping something other than the triune God. However, the Christian story does not begin with sin but with God’s decision to be in relationship with humanity and all creation. Thus when there is a breakdown of that relationship, by what has been done, or what has been left undone, it is a tragedy in which the congregation has participated. Repentance means naming and stripping away the things that distance the disciple from the gospel. From personal repentance, the congregation moves into corporate confession. It is not just individual sin that separates each person from God: sin infects the people of God as a whole. In confessing sin, we recognize that the people of this congregation have joined, each and every week, in the catastrophe of discarding God’s everlasting invitation to worship and friendship.
